1. Sorry indeed! I think this is complete BS

Sorry to be rude, but this article has no references, no sources, just a list of assertions of what's bad for you. There's not even an author listed, let alone their qualifications or reasons to believe them. I suspect it was written by an AI bot and is complete BS.

The only thing here that I can accept without additional information is the fine print at the end which basically says "don't trust us". It's short, I'll include it in full here:

Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional consultation or advice related to your health or finances. No reference to an identifiable individual or company is intended as an endorsement thereof. Some or all of this article may have been generated using artificial intelligence, and it may contain certain inaccuracies or unreliable information. Readers should not rely on this article for information and should consult with professionals for personal advice.

Sheesh, when the article itself says not to believe them, I won't!

2. *In conclusion: it is clear that many of our favorite beverages might be more harmful than we initially thought.

By practicing moderation and balance in our diet, maintaining high bone density and preventing osteoporosis is definitely achievable. Don’t ever let bone health disappear under the radar - it's what's keeping you standing after all!'

3. No no no! Sorry, but that entire site is garbage!

Sorry, but no human wrote this article! It's nice-sounding nonsense written by a computer. And AI software often simply makes up stuff (the programmers call it hallucinations). Sometimes AI gets it right, but often not. At no time should you believe anything they say without additional checks.

Look at the other articles on this site. The site owners have the same disclaimer at the end of EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE on situationliving.com:

"Readers should not rely on this article for information"

Other things to note about all the articles on situationliving.com:

- NONE of the articles have authors listed (reputable authors want to be known for their work!!)
- ALL of the articles end with the same disclaimer statement saying the article may have been "generated using artificial intelligence". I.e. they were automatically generated, no human involved.
- The owners (seen by looking at the contact-us links at the bottom of the pages) is Domain Development Corporation.
- A Google for Domain Development Corporation turns up a very small company of computer nerds that make their living registering a lot of domain names and network services.

This is not a real magazine, this is nice-appearing click-bait written by a computer.

Please do research healthy living. But stay away from nonsense sites like this!!

That said, it might very well be true that 100% of what is in this article is accurate. But please research it on reputable sites, with real authors, that have medical degrees. Not fake magazine/news sites put together by AI programmers.

Seriously lacking in our society is any training on how to judge information sources.

4. I guess it's water then, but maybe not.

I'm 75, drink lots of coffee and tons of dairy. No osteoporosis yet. I do have a bit of osteopenia, but what the hell, I'm 75. Also, I do exercise 40 minutes, 5 times per week, so there's that.

5. I've been aware for decades that artificially sweetened

soft drinks are incredibly bad for you. For women, especially, the chemicals used in the sweetening can leach calcium from bones.

As someone who stopped drinking any and all soft drinks about 30 years ago, I'm constantly astonished when I'm in the grocery store and almost every single cart I see has several of those huge boxes of soft drinks. Why? Why not drink tap water, save a little money, and perhaps save your bones?
